Why this year? Was is due to his profile rising as a result of a Hollywood film?

Or, has he achieved things this year that exceed his performance over the past 5 years?

I'm thinking that they're ramping fb up for an IPO. Building hype, articles about mark being worth more than Jobs, Time Man of the Year, etc.

There's a lot of money and relationships behind fb, money and relationships buy press.
